US President Donald Trump is slated to arrive in Israel on Monday morning, an Israeli official confirms to The Times of Israel.
He will go to the Knesset to deliver an address and will meet freed hostages, the official says.
However, because of security issues, Trump will not visit Hostages Square in Tel Aviv.
There was a phone call between the Israeli and American sides around noon today, in which Trump’s team said it “would be an in and out” visit, says the official.
